multiple miscarraiges

I have 1 child and since then I have had multiple miscarraiges and we are seeing a specialist. We had the chromosome tests done and they came back clear. I am waiting for the blood clotting test results to come back and I will have the age/quality of my eggs tested. Is there anything else that can be tested? It is quite frustrating and disappointing. All of my miscarriages have been early, the lastest was just under 8 weeks. The others around 5 weeks. Our first pregnancy was a breeze and it is hard to not be able to have another easy pregnancy. Thanks for any advice!

Hi allyha,
I had 2 very early miscarriages, 6 weeks and 8 weeks, and I have had 2 late miscarriages, 14.5 weeks and 22 weeks gestation. No children yet. The first one was 6 months after we got married, and I was happy go lucky. It seemed so easy to get pregnant. After the baby did not appear to be growing and the heartbeat was determined to be too slow we were told to expect a miscarriage within 2 to 4 weeks. I miscarried in May 2004. We did not try to get pregnant for nearly a year after that. Once we starting trying again conceiving did not come easy. So I took my mind off of pregnancy and just hoped it would happen naturally. Early in 2006 I gradually changed my eating habits and began increasing my consumption of fruits and vegetables. I even eliminated coffee from my diet which was a big deal because I love coffee. In November 2006 I learned that we had conceived and that I was approx 8 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately I lost her in January 2007. In September 2007 we learned that we were 6 weeks pregnant but 2 days later my hormone levels began dropping which indicated the inevitable miscarriage, which happened uneventfully in October 2007. So we waited the recommended three months and began trying again. When I saw my period after thinking we had conceived in the current cycle I was very upset. I pulled myself together and reflected on my history of conception and miscarriage. On my own I decided to eliminate coffee from my diet. I began eating more green vegetables and cut down on consumption of sweets. My OB/GYN prescribed Folic Acid vitamins and of course prenatal vitamins. All of this in an effort to prepare my environment for healthy conception and a good start to the pregnancy. I did not feel like hoping and wishing for conception so I turned to my book entitled, Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni
Wechler and began charting my cycle to better determine when I was fertile. We also avoided sexual intercourse 2 days prior to my peak fertile day to increase my husbands sperm count and after we had intercourse on that day I stayed in a position with my legs propped up to increase the chances of more sperm reaching the egg. All of these steps helped us to conceive a healthy viable pregnancy in January 2008. I lost her last week when my water broke due to extremely weak, incompetent cervix.

For me, when and if we choose to try again I will establish a healthy diet, eliminate coffee, take Folic Acid and Prenatal Vitamins and of course chart my cycle.

I hope this is helpful and I wish you the very best on your next pregnancy. Sincerely, abenapc

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
